Air Quotes: Marat Gets All Jason Stackhousey

Q. Because after years when she wasn’t playing so well, are you enjoying it now?

MARAT SAFIN: I’m enjoying it, but she ?? she’s a hard worker. So
for her, everything is like a battle. She wants it. She wants it
badly. She spends so much time on court. I think she is more
professional than all the players together.

So when she’s trying and she’s ?? nobody believed that she’s going
to be No. 1 in the world. Nobody believed that she going to be top 10
even two, three years ago.

So look where she is right now. A lot of people they giving her
trouble, okay, she’s No. 1 in the world but she never won a Grand Slam.

So it’s a little bit ?? it gets tough on her. But she’s there.
She’s fighting. She’s trying. I’m really proud of her that she can
stand, and I tell everybody to fuck off basically in every press
conference. I would do this way, but unfortunately she’s very polite
to you guys.

But I’m really proud that she’s holding up herself even though
that’s somebody can be really rough on her. She’s there. I hope she
can be No. 1 for a long time so she can prove to everybody that they
can go fuck themselves.

Q. When she became No. 1 and joined you as the only brother/sister as No. 1, did you have a celebration together?

MARAT SAFIN: We will. I’m really proud. I’m not proud of myself
so much as I’m proud of my sister because she’s ?? everybody spoke
about me. I know she’s the younger one. I was No. 1 in the world, and
everybody expected from her, well, we’ll see where she can get to. And
she made it. She pulled through and became No. 1 in the world.

Well, she’s in ?? in every Grand Slam she’s in the semifinal. She’s
getting to the finals. So it really makes me proud to have such a
great sister, and I’m going to leave something, or our family will
leave something in tennis.
